MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF PHILIPPINE ISLANDS 261 



Male genitalia: As described with the genus above. The anterior 

 coremata are enormous. The valva also has a peculiar shape, with 

 a high double longitudinal fold. 



Material examined: Luzon, Benguet Subprov., Baguio, 5000 ft., 

 22. V. 19 12 (A.E. Wileman), 1 &, holotype, genit. slide 5669 

 (Rothschild bequest, BM) . 



Harpeptila prasina, new species 



Figures 351, 757 



Male, 24 mm. Head greenish white, glossy (palpi missing). 

 Thorax whitish, mixed with pale olive green (denuded). Abdomen 

 light ochreous, coremata extruded, slender pencils, inner grey, 

 exceeding valvae, outer black, twice as long as inner. 



Forewing elongate-suboval, pointed, costa curved at base, almost 

 straight in middle, apex pointed and produced, termen sinuate above, 

 convex below, oblique. Vein 2 much more distant from 3 than vein 4 ; 

 veins 8 and 9 stalked, stalk almost as long as free part of 8, quite 

 longer than free part of 9. Glossy whitish, densely marbled with 

 light yellowish olive, markings dark brown. Base of costa with a 

 narrow streak, followed by two small subtriangular dots; a semi- 

 circular patch on middle of costa, extending over a little more than 

 one fifth; its top not reaching middle of disc, preceded by a round 

 dot; another transverse patch beyond preceding, extended in middle 

 of disc and forming a suboval patch rounded posteriorly, anteriorly 

 produced into a long point in cell, touching top of preceding patch; 

 a moderate streak just above fold, from beyond base, not reaching 

 dorsum; a small spot in apex, a series of some four horizontal marks 

 on lower part of termen, almost confluent, quickly becoming longer 

 downwards; in left wing second costal patch narrower and followed 

 by a transverse costal mark. Cilia light olive greenish, on costa 

 suffused with brownish, with large distended bars opposite marginal 

 markings in apex and along termen. 



Hindwing dark grey. Cilia pale tawny suffused with grey except 

 along base and opposite apex, a dark spot on tips of cilia just above 

 apex. 



Male genitalia: Resembling closely those of the type species, but 

 differing as follows. Gnathos halves less curved at base, hardly 

 curved at top. Process of sacculus longer, especially in left valva. 

 Two pairs of very long coremata, inner 1/2 the length of outer pair. 



Material examined: "Mindanao (Haslam Coll.), Ace. 5990," 1 cf , 

 holotype, genit. slide 5714 (CMP). Except for the quite different 

 coloring and markings, this species seems to be closely allied to
